        <p>display — 
      Displays the audio or control signals as an amplitude vs. time graph.

        <h2>Description</h2>
        <p>
      These units will print orchestra init-values, or produce graphic display of orchestra control signals and audio signals. Uses X11 windows if enabled, else (or if <a class="link" href="CommandFlags.html#FlagsMinusLowerG"><em class="citetitle">-g</em></a> flag is set) displays are approximated in ASCII characters.

        <h2>Syntax</h2>
        <pre class="synopsis"><span class="command"><strong>display</strong></span> xsig, iprd [, inprds] [, iwtflg]</pre>
      </div>
      <div class="refsect1">

        <h2>Initialization</h2>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>iprd</em></span> -- the period of display in seconds.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>inprds</em></span> (optional, default=1) -- Number of display periods retained in each display graph. A value of 2 or more will provide a larger perspective of the signal motion. The default value is 1 (each graph completely new).
      <span class="emphasis"><em>inprds</em></span> is a scaling factor for the displayed waveform, controlling how many <span class="emphasis"><em>iprd</em></span>-sized frames of samples are drawn in the window (the default and minimum value is 1.0). Higher <span class="emphasis"><em>inprds</em></span> values are slower to draw (more points to draw) but will show the waveform scrolling through the window, which is useful with low <span class="emphasis"><em>iprd</em></span> values.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>iwtflg</em></span> (optional, default=0) -- wait flag. If non-zero, each display is held until released by the user. The default value is 0 (no wait).

        <p>
